How to get the real size of video inside the MPMoviePlayerController?

I have a MPMoviePlayerController that is being used to play videos. I'm using subviews to create watermark labels to place over the video. I need the watermarks to be on top of the actual video though not the black space to the sides or top of the video.

I know that I can use the naturalSize to get the original video dimensions. However, when the player view is larger than the natural size, the video stretches to fit the view. Is there a way to get the size of the stretched video in the player view? If I know the real size of the video, I should be able to calculate the coordinates for placing the watermarks properly on top of it.

Any ideas?

You can get the size of the movie with the property naturalSize.

moviePlayer.naturalSize.height  //to get the height of the frame player

UPDATE!!

Hope it helps

 -(CGRect)getResizedVideoFrame:(CGRect )naturalSize andPlayerViewSize:(CGRect)playerSize {
    float resVi = naturalSize.size.width / naturalSize.size.height;
    float resPl = playerSize.size.width / playerSize.size.height;
    return (resPl > resVi ? CGRectMake(0, 0, naturalSize.size.width * playerSize.size.height/naturalSize.size.height, playerSize.size.height) : CGRectMake(0, 0,playerSize.size.width, naturalSize.size.height * playerSize.size.width/naturalSize.size.width));
 }
